USOPC Sports Medicine Volunteer Program

Thank you for your interest in the Sports Medicine Volunteer Program with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC)! Serving as a volunteer medical provider with the USOPC is a privilege, not a right.  As such, whether to accept providers into the USOPC volunteer program is within the sole discretion of the USOPC, even in cases where providers meet the minimum criteria.  

Applications are reviewed on a bi-monthly basis. Please note that due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to provide individual status updates. Once your application is accepted, we will reach out when rotations become available. 

If you have any questions, please contact sportsmedicinevolunteerprogram@usopc.org.
